This paper reports on a new façade system that uses passive solutions in the search for energy efficiency. The differentials are the versatility and flexibility of the modules, which are important advantages of the system. The thermal performance of Trombe walls and glazings and the daylighting performance of glazing were the key aspects analyzed in the results. Computational simulations were accomplished for the thermal performance of different arrangements of the modules with DesignBuilder software. The glazing daylighting performance was studied by means of Ecotect and Desktop Radiance programs and compared with the transmittance curves of glazings. Occupancy profile and internal gains were fixed according to the Portuguese reality for both studies. The main characteristics considered in this research were the use of two double glazings, four different climates in Portugal and one and two Trombe walls in the façade. The results show an important reduction in the energy consumption with the use of Trombe walls and double self-cleaning glazing in the façade, which also presented better daylighting performance.
RESUMOEste trabalho se enquadra em um projeto de pesquisa mais amplo de desenvolvimento de concreto leve para aplicação no sistema construtivo de painéis monolíticos de concreto moldados in loco, tendo como referencial, além dos requisitos técnicos de trabalhabilidade, resistência mecânica e durabilidade, a influência do concreto no desempenho do conforto térmico da edificação. Especificamente neste trabalho, será apresentada a avaliação da influência do teor de argila expandida no valor da condutividade térmica do concreto leve destinado a este sistema construtivo. Foram avaliados os valores da condutividade térmica de concretos leves com massa específica variando entre 1216 a 2364 Kg/m³, produzidos com argila expandida em substituição ao agregado graúdo natural (basalto). A condutividade térmica dos concretos foi determinada utilizando o "Método do Fio Quente Paralelo" e variou entre 0,54 e 1,80 W/mK.

Evaluation of thermal conductivity of lightweight concrete with expanded clay
ABSTRACTThis work fits in a research project on the broader development of lightweight concrete for application in the construction system of cast-in-place monolithic panels of concrete and having as reference the influence of the concrete in the performance of the thermal comfort of the construction. Specifically, this work will present the evaluation of the influence of the expanded clay on the value of the thermal conductivity of the lightweight concrete used in this constructive system. The values of thermal conductivity of lightweight concrete with densities ranging from 1216 to 2364 kg/m³, produced with expanded clay to replace the natural coarse aggregate (basalt), we esalnated. The thermal conductivity of the concrete was determined using the "Method of the Parallel Hot Wire" and varied between 0.54 and 1.80 W/mK.
